Description: Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a big night Saturday against the Flyers.

Description: Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins recorded a hat trick in the, 7-4, loss to the Hurricanes on Sunday.

Insight: Elias Lindholm of Carolina also had a hat trick. Edmonton actually led, 3-0, in the middle of the second period, but Carolina scored seven of the final eight goals. One of Nugent-Hopkins' score was on the power-play. He has 19 goals and 24 assists in 64 games this season.

Insight: He's only 21-years-old, starting his fourth season, and should be on both the first line and power play unit, so 60-70 points is possible. We'd like him and the Oilers to play better defense as the -12 rating isn't helping his ADP.

Description: Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two goals, one assist, four SOG and a +3 Saturday at Ottawa.

Insight: The 20-year-old former No. 1 overall pick had just four goals and 24 points in 40 games during his sophomore season after posting 18 goals and 52 points in 62 games as a rookie. Since returning from his shoulder injury, Nugent-Hopkins has four goals and two assists in seven games and should produce at a better pace than 2012-13.

Description: Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) is expected to play Monday against the Devils, according to the Edmonton Journal.

Insight: Nugent-Hopkins initially wasn't expected to be back until early November after undergoing shoulder surgery in the offseason, but he insists he isn't rushing back. The 20-year-old former No. 1 overall pick is heading into his third NHL season and fantasy owners should expect him to produce at a 60-point pace.

Insight: His new deal is worth $42 million over the next seven seasons. Still, he's not expected to return from shoulder surgery until November at the earliest.

Description: Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is looking at a Novemer return according to the team.

Insight: Nugent-Hopkins' numbers took a nosedive from his rookie year, when he had 18 goals and 52 points in 62 games. He scored just four times last season and totaled 24 points over 40 games. It appears he could miss 12-15 games before he's ready to go this season.

Description: According to a report from the Oilers' Twitter account, center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss the rest of the season due to a labral tear in his shoulder. He is expected to have surgery. RNH says his expected procedure is close to the one teammate Taylor Hall had last season.

Insight: Nugent-Hopkins' numbers are down from his rookie year, when he had 18 goals and 52 points in 62 games. He has four goals and 24 points over 40 games this season, but 13 of those points have come over the last 13 games.

Insight: Everything is clicking in Edmonton right now and Nugent-Hopkins has a lot to do with it. The forward has 10 points in his last five games. Over that span, he's collected an absurd +9 rating in 16 minutes of ice time per game. With 19-year-old Nugent-Hopkins and 21-year-old Taylor Hall running the show, it looks like the Oilers are going to be the team to beat in a few years.

Description: Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (flu) is now doubtful for Saturday's game due to a lingering flu bug. The illness has kept him on the sidelines since Wednesday. "What I had hoped was a 24-hour flu, which has hit multiple players here, is deeper than that. (Nugent-Hopkins) is still extremely weak today" coach Ralph Krueger said. "With that being at least three days, we expect he will need as many days to get back." SOURCE: Edmonton Journal

Insight: Nugent-Hopkins, the 2011 No. 1 overall pick, has regressed from 18 goals and 34 assists in 62 games last season to just two goals and nine assists in 27 games this season.
